Stoltenberg seeks to resolve Sweden and Finland NATO memberhip issue 'as soon as possible'

Description

At a press conference with Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says that the aim is "to welcome Finland and Sweden as full members as soon as possible", after the two Nordic countries' bids to join the organisation were stalled by objections raised by Turkey. Ankara accuses them of providing a safe haven for the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), listed as a "terrorist" group by Turkey and its Western allies. SOUNDBITE
